"Songful Style gives you lyrics, music, video, and album artwork to inspire your fashion creativity. You may even find inspiration in a memory triggered by the selected song. It is all open to your own personal interpretation and just a fun way to discover new music and get a little bit more creative with your wardrobe." [lifted from Shelbee]
This is a monthly link-up every last Monday of the month. We will announce our song choice for the following month at the end of each Songful Style post.
It's my month to choose our inspiration and June's song is Behind the Wall of Sleep by Pat DiNizio and The Smithereens.
Do you know why? Here's a hint:
That's my boyfriend Severo on bass!
The lyrics:
She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs that never ended I was halfway paralyzed She was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul
Now I lie in bed and think of her Sometimes I even weep Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Well she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band And she stood just like Bill Wyman Now I am her biggest fan Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend And I've got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them
Now I lie in bed and think of her Sometimes I even weep Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Now I lie in bed and think of her Sometimes I even weep Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep
Got your number form a friend of mine who lives in your home town Called you up to have a drink Your roommate said you weren't around Now I know I'm one of many who would like to be your friend And I've just got to find a way to to let you know I'm not like them
Now I lie in bed and think of her Sometimes I even weep Then I dream of her behind the wall of sleep Behind the wall of sleep Behind the wall of sleep Behind the wall of sleep
It was a "Lost 80's Live" night at the Greek Theater, Severo's debut on that venue's stage as bassist for The Romantics. He kindly got me a ticket, as the comped guest ticket situation was, um, messed up.
As Dez says, "Are these my seats?"
There were 13 bands on the bill, to perform in a 3-hour window, with set changes for every band. Doing "concert math", that equals 1-2 songs for most bands. The Romantics played two hits: Talkingin Your Sleep and What I Like About You. Severo did great! There's a video (not mine) at the end of this.
But how about my outfit?
